1/2 Cup

In my family, a serving of ice cream has never been the suggested serving size on the box. Ever. Usually a classic half-gallon of ice cream is fortunate to get four "servings" out of it.

Yesterday I tried an experiment. I ate the suggested serving size and you'll never guess what happened.

1) I didn't feel junked out.
2) I still felt like I had eaten something tasty (Peanut Butter Passion, yummy!).

Had I known, so many years ago, how great moderation felt...I may have been doing it a long time ago. It's just a shame that I don't have any 1/2 cup sized bowls to remind myself.

I do have small ramekins that are actually smaller than the serving size. Those will work just fine. Now, when I feel like I want a "little more" it doesn't end up being the other half of the carton. Yikes!
